A Celebration Give Away

I'm celebrating!
♦ My First Newsletter is just about ready to send. It has only taken me one year to manage and I'm thinking the hard part is just doing it the first time. I was just dreading all the new learning curves one has to conquer and navigate around.

♦ I'm holding the "send" button a couple of days to give you a chance to sign up if you haven't already because there is a"special offer" for newsletter recipients.

I'm celebrating!
♦ I will also be listing prints. Prints of my new larger pieces will be large format prints as shown above.

I'm celebrating with a print giveaway!
♦ Do you see the front print above that is way on the side of the paper? Well it is a good print except I was messing with the placement and messed up! Large format prints are a lot more expensive to produce and mail for obvious reasons and this print is too good to discard. It is suitable for framing.
♦ Sooooooooo, I'm going to have a comment drawing for this very print.

♦ You don't have to jump through any hoops. Just leave me a comment on this post and I will draw a name next week.

Oh Sharon - well done. The hardest part is the first one, and wearing another hat, thinking of how and what and why; it's a left-brain / right-brain thing (though I can never remember which is which). Please sign me up ... I can't wait. All the best, Ann. (And now I'll catch up with your recent posts, because I've been absent for too long). X

I love your art (but you already know that)!!! I would love to have her hanging on my wall, looking at me, looking at her!!! Looking forward to your newsletter. You are an inspiration to me and to many!

Norah, I would love to win one of your prints. Such talent and the colors are beautiful!! You are such an inspiration to me and everyone!! Could not sign up for the Turrents & T class as my family needed me but if you do have it again please let me know!! Have a wonderful day!! Smiles, Kay

What a delightful way to celebrate--by sharing yourself. I just joined the Faces class and am gathering info and supplies to get started. Interestingly, I was drawn in by this very portrait you are giving away!

Oh! She is gorgeous and I would love to see her hanging on my wall. I love your blog and come here all the time for inspiration and just a plan old art fix! Thanks for sharing your art and life with us all!

I am in a wheelchair and 50 years old, and like you, painting for me is an adventure everytime. It gives me wings, and I forget about everything and everyone... just for a little while and it feels great. I simply love your work, like you I love to create my imaginary people, using strong contrast and all sort of bold colors. It keeps our heart and soul young.Thank you so much for sharing! karocartier@radioactif.com

Oh, I love this painting of yours. I also really loved the Klimt-inspired painting you did. It was absolutely beautiful. Klimt is an inspiration to me daily. I can read books with his paintings over and over again. I keep them right next to the tub.Can't wait to see your newsletter too.

I just love this print! I remember when you asked us to send you the rest of their story. I really enjoyed reading those post and submitting one too. You are so generous and whoever wins this will be a very fortunate person. Thanks for the chance to win it. Now I need to get on to signing up for the newsletter - can't wait to read it too.

You inspire me every time I come to your blog Sharon. Your art always leaves me with a smile..this latest lady is just so beautiful. She would be a treasure to own. Thank you for the opportunity. Hugs, Suze Rose

I am so happy Sharon, to have the opportunity to own artwork created by your hands; especially a creation so wonderful. I have only begun my journey with you and your blessings of wonderful talents.

I signed up for your Technicolor Faces class and then I had to go out of state a while to help my daughter with her art studio/shop in Florida. I am back home and ordering all of my paint supplies online tonight. I have watched your videos so many times that I may not have to watch them to paint the faces :) I actually already feel like I painted them :) I'm excited to take more of your classes.

Please continue to use your God-given talents so we can all benefit. I love you for it.

Congratulations on your newsletter! I just signed up! Since I know the whole story behind this piece, I would LOVE to win the print =)(The rest of their story is that they are both a bit eccentric and they found in each other the perfect match. The bling is really bits of food she painstakingly and gently lays out for the bird each morning and they are then eaten by this rather persnickety (is that spelled correctly?) bird in the same order they are placed. So now you know the rest ♥)

OMG, I just found this the link to this in my email.You know my comment, as I am always in "Awee" of your paintings.You used the word last year, "EXPECT".. so I will tell you to EXPECT to hear the word AMAZING from me. This painting says it all to me. It speaks to my soul....... Thank you again for being our mentor Sharon. Love ya..

congrats Sharon! I have to say that I love it that I found your Ning group last year! Your workshops (ALL of them!) are just wonderful! Thanks for the chance to win...and I did sign up for your newsletter too! Hugs!

Really love your blog and your work. I want to also thank you for doing the morning art and making you tube videos for us all to see. I watched one whole series of them and you got me inspired to start painting again. I'd sort of lost my groove for a while but seeing you do it and feeling that wonderful sense of peace has been a great help! I'd love to win your give away and be able to have a print of your artwork! Thanks!

Sharon, Hi. I see you are doing well and it's so nice to see your face. I LOVE this print...no matter how she is placed on the paper. I'd love to win her and if not, then, I've really enjoyed seeing her. Love seeing what all you are doing! pat

About Me

Me Myself and I

I love using my hands to do anything. I get lost creating. Painting faces, collage, mixed media, and altered books are my passions.

Digging in the dirt feeds my soul. Flowers are one of God's greatest creations.

I'm shy although one might not know it. I have too many opinions and can't keep them to myself.

AND THEN........

Every now and then, I just need to touch cloth. I use unwanted clothing, cast offs, remnants, unfinished works-in-progress, cloth napkins, table cloths, curtains, and my stash which is pretty extensive.

And then, I sit and stitch. And stitch. Because stitching calms and relaxes me. It quiets the chatter in my head and keeps me upright in the chair zone in the evenings. And that is The Cloth Side Of Me.
